"A friend who had a gastric bypass done by Dr. Li recommended her to me, even though I had already chosen (and had an appointment with) another surgeon at another hospital. I went to an information session where Dr. Li spoke and decided that I wanted HER to be the one with my life in her hands. She has a great bedside manner - friendly, caring, and yet takes things seriously. She doesn't play around - and that's what I want in someone who'll be in charge of opening my body and moving things around. I got my appointment with her quite quickly and the office staff were very friendly. rnrnI ended up having my gallbladder out (3.5 cm stones!) and a liver biopsy, and her office handled everything. She did all 3 procedures, updating my husband as she went. I spent about an hour with her at an appt before the surgery discussing the procedure, the sequence of events, and all of the risks. She made sure I knew what was happening and what was at risk. rnrnShe followed up with me during my hospital stay - I saw her a few times and she called my room to check on me during her day off. She (and Sinai) have a great aftercare program that is stressed just as much as the surgery and prep. They really educate you on the problems that can occur if you don't follow the nutrition and supplement plan exactly. When you choose Dr. Li, you also choose Nancy, the nutritionist. She'll answer your questions 24/7 and educate you on more than you thought possible. I'm a week out and feeling great. rnrnI can't say enough about Dr. Li. She's just awesome. She ends every appointment with a big hug and words of encouragement and comfort. When's the last time one of your doctors did that??"
